Line 40:
* Tenpou in ''[[Saiyuki]] Gaiden'' has an office/library that becomes like this frequently and would get worse if Kenren didn't clean it for him. Wierdly in their future incarnations this switches.
* Misato Katsuragi of ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''. The first time Shinji enters the apartment, Misato warns him with a sheepish smile that it's a little messy. He steps in and is appalled at the piles of [[Bottle Fairy|beer cans]], [[Lethal Chef|instant meal wrappings]], dirty laundry...

* In ''[[Kochikame]]'', Ryotsu's room is basically like this.
* Erica Hartmann's room from ''[[Strike Witches]]''. It's so messy that in one episode, she can't even find her underwear, so she ends up stealing a pair from one of the other girls taking a bath at the time. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as they try to figure out who stole the underwear.
Line 62:
* One of the ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' novels has mankind turn Earth into the Solar System's trash heap (leading to a [[Planet of the Apes Ending|Planet Of The Apes Middle]] when Lister recognized Mount Rushmore). At least until it 'escapes' when a methane vent ignites and the Earth literally farts out of orbit.
** Lister generally managed to create a smaller but no less deadly version of this in his living quarters.

* In ''[[The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul|The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul]]'', Dirk Gently is having a standoff with his cleaning lady over who will open the fridge first; it hasn't been opened in several months. The rest of his flat is in a similar state. Eventually, Dirk just buys a new fridge and has the old one carted off, [[It Came From the Fridge|where it spawns a new demon/god]] which conveniently eats the escaping 'villains'.
* In ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy/So Long And Thanks For All The Fish|So Long And Thanks For All The Fish]]'' by the same author, Arthur Dent's room is in a similar state, as he jokes "Bung a fork of lightning through this lot and you'd start the evolution of life all over again."
Line 129:
* The dorm room of the (male) main characters in ''[[College Roomies from Hell]]''. Spoofed when one of the characters is completely unaware of the mess, because the background is blank. Another character waves his hand, and parts blank background, which turns out to be a wall of fog emanating from all the garbage.
* The character of [http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1413 Marigold] in ''[[Questionable Content]]'', at least before [[Super OCD|Hanners]] gets to her.

* Ratliff from ''[http://www.eyebeam.com Eyebeam]''. The pile of mess in his room [http://eyebeam.com/toons/index.php?num=75 is] [http://eyebeam.com/toons/index.php?num=111 a] [http://eyebeam.com/1983/index.php?num=105 running] [http://eyebeam.com/toons/index.php?num=225 joke] throughout the comic. When Ratliff moves into his own house, Eyebeam comments that it is nice how the trash piles up to a lower level, only to be reminded of "the tides". Once, and only once, does Ratliff actually [http://eyebeam.com/toons/index.php?num=241 clean his room]; [[Hilarity Ensues]]. A quick de-cleaning restores the natural order of things.
* Fox's desk in an early ''[[Friendly Hostility]]'' strip resembled a trash heap.
